1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: This study explores the relationship between breast radiation dermatitis (BRD) and post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) among patients with breast cancer. Both BRD and PMPS significantly impact quality of life, yet their correlation and risk factors require further investigation. Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of 784 patients with breast cancer who underwent postoperative radiotherapy between 2017 and 2023. Clinical data on BRD and PMPS were collected through patient questionnaires and hospital records, examining risk factors and evaluating the prevalence of PMPS among those with BRD. Results: BRD affected 81.25% of patients, with higher incidence among older and obese individuals. PMPS was observed in 23.4% of the BRD group versus 13.6% in non-BRD patients (P=0.009). Early BRD onset during radiotherapy (P=0.004) and larger dermatitis areas (P=0.000) were strongly associated with increased PMPS risk. Conclusions: This study highlights the significant relationship between BRD and PMPS, underscoring the need for early interventions to manage BRD and reduce chronic pain risk. Tailored care strategies could improve outcomes for high-risk patients.
